BG Pathum United recovered from a one-goal deficit to defeat nine-man Ratchaburi 4-2 in a Thai League 1 encounter on Sunday night.

Ratchaburi were left with 10 men on the pitch after 29 minutes when Rafael Jensen was handed his second yellow card of the match for arguing with the referee after a foul.
Pathum levelled in the 32nd minute through Jakkapan Praisuwan and added the second a minute later when Patrik Gustavsson scored.
Ratchaburi tied the score in the 43rd minute through Jonathan Khemdee but lost another player in the 56th minute when Moussa Sidibe was red-carded.
Teerasil Dangda (81) and Surachart Sareepim (90+2) then sealed the win for the Rabbits.
